Let’s say the Bulls don’t hit the lottery. Let’s say they remain right where they’re slotted at sixth. Let’s say the big fish — DeAndre Ayton, Luka Doncic, Marvin Bagley III, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Michael Porter Jr. — are all gobbled up with the first five picks.

What then?

For weeks it’s felt like a foregone conclusion that Mikal Bridges will be the name called if there’s no shakeup at the top and the Bulls are the team selecting sixth. But what if the sharpshooting, rangy defender out of Villanova is not the pick?

The Bulls could throw a wrench into everyone’s thinking and take Miles Bridges out of Michigan State or perhaps even my early-season prospect crush, Kentucky’s Kevin Knox. Or maybe snag Duke big man Wendell Carter Jr. Who knows which direction the Bulls will go on draft night? Much can change over the next seven weeks.
